"Honey, to be precise, I already know who poisoned me..."
Jiang Ruoxi almost cried out when Ye Chen said that.
He punched Ye Chen twice in the chest: "You bastard, you were actually hiding something? Were you doing this on purpose?"
"Wife, spare me! How could I possibly hold back? But we still need to be careful. For now, we'll pretend we don't know who it is and see who's behind it all."
Ye Chen spoke his true thoughts. He knew that those charging ahead were insignificant pawns, and their loss would have no impact on them whatsoever.
Instead of arresting some useless people, it's better to keep them around to expose the big shots behind the scenes.
Jiang Ruoxi understood instantly. She agreed with Ye Chen's idea: there would never be peace until the mastermind was found.
"Ye Chen, what should I do on my end? How can I lure out the mastermind?"
"Honey, don't worry, the best is yet to come! We're in the open, they're in the shadows. Only when they make their move will we have a chance..."
Jiang Ruoxi found Ye Chen's analysis to be reasonable, so she didn't press him further, knowing that Ye Chen already had plans.
Jiang Ruoxi, who usually appears very shrewd, really didn't do very well in this aspect.
No one is omnipotent, and a strong woman who has been fighting in the business world for a long time cannot know everything.
"Honey, don't worry! I'm going back to work now, okay?"
"Go ahead, you can arrange everything."
"Oh, right, honey, don't forget to reimburse me for that expense!"
"Get out! Get as far away from me as possible!"
"Alright!"
Ye Chen wasn't angry and left the office with a grin.
Just as he sat down in the chair, He Jianping came in: "Brother Ye, I heard you put in a lot of good words for me at the meeting just now. Thank you so much! We must arrange something for you this weekend..."
"Minister He, you're too kind. You've taken such good care of me; it's only right that we look out for each other! From now on, you're like an older brother to me!"
"Brother Ye, I heard that President Jiang has assigned a lot of important tasks to our department, and they are quite difficult. You know my abilities are limited, and I can't possibly complete those high-level tasks smoothly. Everything will depend on you, brother. From now on, you will be in charge of the department's work, and I will be your general..."
"Brother, you're too kind. We're like brothers, aren't we? Aren't we both doing our best for the company? Let's work together..."
After speaking, Ye Chen whispered a few instructions to He Jianping, clearly not wanting a third party to know.
"Don't worry, brother, I'll take care of it right away."
After He Jianping left, Ye Chen suddenly remembered how Jiang Ruoxi had discovered his conversation with Lin Keke.
There is no other possibility than that a listening device was installed.
He began searching the office, but after a long time he found nothing.
That's impossible! With his abilities, he couldn't possibly have missed the listening device!
This woman is too ruthless. Once this matter is resolved, it's best to go back to the mountain as soon as possible. With her methods, she will definitely torture us to death.
So where exactly does the problem lie?
Ye Chen reclined in his chair, deep in thought. There was absolutely no way there wouldn't be eavesdropping.
He Jianping asked him to help with the work; it's impossible for him to cheat him like this.
Just when Ye Chen thought Jiang Ruoxi was impeccable, his fingers touched her collar and noticed something was different. He quickly discovered a very small imported listening device inside the collar.
Just as Ye Chen was about to remove the bugging device, he stopped. After thinking it over, he decided not to take it down. Since Jiang Ruoxi wanted to know so much, he would continue acting.
Actually, Ye Chen kept the bugging device because he thought he might need it someday.
Anyway, there aren't many women in Jiangcheng who are better than Jiang Ruoxi.
After a short rest, Ye Chen got back to work.
Suddenly, it occurred to him that He Jianping was going to hold a general meeting of all staff in the security department, and as the deputy director, he had to attend. This would be a good opportunity for him to get to know other people and make it easier to carry out his work in the future.
"Everyone, please stand up and welcome our Vice Minister Ye..." He Jianping led the applause.
Ye Chen clasped his hands together and sat down discreetly to He Jianping's right, not wanting to steal the limelight from the other vice minister.
After sitting down, He Jianping began to organize the meeting, while Ye Chen habitually scanned the room, observing everyone's expressions—a habitual action of his.
Soon, Ye Chen noticed a young man in his forties sitting in the middle of the first row of the audience. He had an angry expression and his lips were moving constantly, which Ye Chen felt was that he was cursing.
Ye Chen asked Lao He for his name. His name was Han Zhenting, and he was a veteran of the security department. If it weren't for Ye Chen's sudden arrival, the position of deputy minister would have been his.
No wonder he looked at Ye Chen strangely and kept spewing vulgarities; it was because Ye Chen had taken his place.
"Comrades, our security department is responsible for the company's security and President Jiang's safety. It's a huge responsibility. Everyone must be on high alert and there can be no slackening. We must complete the security mission to a high standard..."
After taking a sip of water, He Jianping continued speaking. The content was mostly official jargon, with little practical guidance. However, everyone was used to it; every meeting followed the same routine, and they were all pretty much the same.
"Next, please welcome Vice Minister Ye to speak!"
He Jianping will do anything to flatter Ye Chen.
Ye Chen didn't expect He Jianping to have arranged this part. According to the usual procedure, the deputy usually doesn't speak and just stays with the meeting until the end!
Since He Jianping had already spoken, it would be inappropriate for Ye Chen to refuse again. Before speaking, he glanced at Han Zhenting one last time, and Han Zhenting still had that angry expression.
Ye Chen stopped paying attention to him. It was a good thing that he wanted to improve himself; that was how he could be motivated.
"Thank you, Minister, for giving me this opportunity, and thank you to the Jiang Group for giving me this opportunity as well. I will cooperate well with Minister He and safeguard the company's safety. At the same time, my position in the security department is temporary, which may have affected the advancement of some colleagues. I apologize for that! Finally, thank you to all my colleagues for your support and cooperation!"
Ye Chen didn't want to reveal too much, so he ended his speech without saying much more.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"Vice Minister Ye's words are excellent! Let's give him a round of applause! We should follow Vice Minister Ye's example, work together diligently, and accomplish our tasks well!"
As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, He Jianping shouted "Bravo!" three times in a row and led the applause, almost startling Ye Chen. He was giving Ye Chen a lot of face.
Being a leader feels pretty good; everything you say is right, and there are people who flatter and fawn over you.
No wonder Jiang Ruoxi is able to manage such a large company despite her young age; besides her own abilities, her position also plays a role.
Let's focus on our work and do everything we can to protect her and prevent her from getting hurt in the slightest.
